The Impossible Stream

Enjoyable start to the episode, but then it just flushes itself down the tubes of meta jokes. How many shows do we need where the script is full of obvious and subtle winks to the audience? This episode would've been fantastic if we haven't already seen this sort of thing 100 times.

But we have.

Even so, I can appreciate that the new episode still carried some of the old spirit of mildly funny gags. And I mean that sincerely positively. Futurama rarely felt like it was trying too hard. Rather than writers always needing a punchline, it was more about creating an environment of irony, idiocy, and sci-fi world-building, and the reboot did retain some of that. It was more-of-the-same Futurama at first, and then more-of-the-same other shows.

Hopefully they got the latter out of their system, and can get back to pure Futurama in the remaining new episodes.

Flashback to just where we were a decade ago the romantic story of Fry and Leila is yet to begin again.

Long live the 30th century box, wait that was the 29th media, now it's the fulu and their placed advertising that rule the show. Long live the fulu platform. It wasn't much of a episode, the voice actors nail it as always, like they never took a break from voicing the characters. I expected it to way different after so long, but it kinda feels like the same show. Ignoring whatever happen to them and making jokes. Classic Futurama.

I won't ignore the fact that the episode was parody of itself, which considering the long canceling history of the show it turn into some tradition to mock the producers and the studio.

Not sure if they can manage to reboot the show without only relying on the historical and tech events in the last years as parody ground for the jokes in between. Futurama was a big thing, it was very original show, not your casual The Simpsons episode. I hope for a proper season to be remembered by this generation of viewers, no matter the streaming platform.

Ah Futurama, I'm so happy your back, i grew up with this show, which is why I was a little disappointed by this episode. It had absolutely hilarious moments, but many of the jokes felt a little too *OMG 10 YEARES*, which while enjoyable to watch I don't see it aging too well, because eventually the meta *its been 10 years* jokes wont land anymore and will just be seen as dated.

Don't misunderstand though, I definitely enjoyed this episode and so long as the 10 year jokes don't be the one thing this season is known for, the series will definitely have a long future. Even though i critisied the meta jokes the general topic was fun and interesting and i feel will age well, given the world we live in,

summery good episode but very on the nose about it being 10 years since an episode.

Bender, Fry, Lela, Amy Wong, Hermes Conrad, Zoiberg, even Scruffy, all back. The first episode of Season 11 picks up right where the last episode of Season 10 left off. I mean exactly where it left off. The transition is seamless, the show has lost nothing of its wit and sight gags, and the commentary on life in our century is as scathing as ever. I swear there is even a bit about the writers strike, but perhaps I'm conflating it because, as always, there's is a lot to unpack. I have been waiting for this episode for ten years, and it did not disappoint. In fact, I'm awed by how Futurama has lost nothing of its Futurama-ness. Well done, guys!

I'm so glad Futurama is back. This first episode was great too. I don't feel like they undid/soiled the great ending they had last time. Just continuing what's great about the show. Every character felt authentic to who they've always been and the hijinx is par for the coarse. Im so stoked for the coming season. Im rating this episode a 9, because the previous ending was no doubt a 10. I would give this a 10 but I can't say this was better than that ending. So 9. And for me this is the perfect way to reboot a series. Everyone who loves Futurama should take a moment to just rate it real quick. Make sure our love for it is known.
